Whitening, if maintained correctly, can leave patients with results that last. As whitening gels have different levels of peroxide in them, all procedures should only be carried out by qualified dentists who use a clinically proven cosmetic dental treatment.

If necessary, the dentist will take print of your teeth to prepare a custom-made mouth tray in a dental laboratory .

 

The tray is used to hold the whitening agent close to the teeth. The whitening agent is placed on the tray which is then worn for up to 2 hours a day. Results are usually seen within two weeks. Your dentist will explain to you how long to wear the tray both initially and for maintenance.

In some cases, teeth bleaching procedures are provided in office by your dentist. The teeth whitening agent is placed on the teeth and the bleaching process activated by use of special ultraviolet light.
